violin teacher?

Now that covid is winding down we are ready to resume violin for my tween daughter. Can anyone recommend a violin teacher? The ideal person would be focused on fun. I want to nurture her love of the instrument, not bury her with practice (or guilt).

Thanks Sam. Beginner! She did a year of violin at school but still learning to read sheet music. She's been begging to rent another violin for months. We are in Magnolia. Zoom is fine!

All the teachers at Meter Music School In the Central District are awesome, but that might not be super convenient from Magnolia. I know they're doing Zoom classes now, not sure if that will continue post-pandemic.

Hello Adam, we have a wonderful violin teacher who also teaches via Zoom and in person. Her name is Raisa Asri​yants, and you can get a first free lesson to check out the good fit question. Call (206) 402-6701 to make arrangements.
